Lewis (William C.) Dual Language Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades KG–05 in Wilmington. It is one of 27 current school records connected to Red Clay Consolidated School District. NCES reports 347 students for 2024–25.

Among 121 elementary schools in Delaware with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 462 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 26th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.

The reported student–teacher ratio is 12:1, below the Delaware median of 13.7:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.

The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Hispanic or Latino (53.6%) and Black (34%). English learners represent 50.7% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 17.6%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.

The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
